I have two Ultra 1, one running OpenBSD, the other one Solaris 9. They

transfers. They both have have one HME card, the gateway has a lance

With Linux I'm unable to complete a Debian woody network install
without
timeouts during packages downloading, and I can't make a 100 MB scp

Funny that I didn't encouter this when I installed woody on the box.. I
did the install via HTTP from the local network (10BT), the same
connection
that later proved fatal. Maybe the installation kernel was patched but
the dist kernel wasn't, which would certainly be odd.. Or maybe the

wast just blessed by coincidence..
Being a bit fresh with Sun h/w, I wouldn't have expected such bugginess
from their equipment. Back to Earth then ;)
timeout or driver freeze problem (I've only tested Solaris 9), nor did

with OpenBSD or NetBSD. I'm not using *BSD for pleasure (their init
system inherently sux), but it's the only way I've found to use these
computers with a free operating system.
Not to mention the lack of apt (until the fine Debian/NetBSD ppl get
their

Anyway, I could recommend the patch recommended by Dave Love. The
driver
seems to do a reset every 30 MB or so, but it doesn't even cause
noticeable
delays..
